Research Interests

My research on tomographic imaging is primarily focused on magnetic particle imaging. In this context, I am engaged in the study of a number of problems, including:

  • Image reconstruction
    • Multi-contrast imaging
    • Multi-patch imaging
    • Artifact reduction
  • Magnetic field generation and characterisation
  • Receive path calibration

Curriculum Vitae

Martin Möddel is a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Tobias Knopp for experimental Biomedical Imaging at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Hamburg University of Technology. He received his PhD in physics from the Universität Siegen in 2014 on the topic of characterizing quantum correlations: the genuine multiparticle negativity as entanglement monotone. Prior to his PhD, he studied physics at the Universität Leipzig between 2005 and 2011, where he received his Diplom On the costratified Hilbert space structure of a lattice gauge model with semi-simple gauge group.

Abstract: Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a relatively young, radiation-free imaging modality that measures the interaction between superparamagnetic nanoparticles and magnetic fields. Compared to standard imaging modalities, a key feature of MPI is its ability to measure 3D volumes of relatively high spatial resolution in real-time, while still maintaining high sensitivity. Therefore, MPI is considered promising especially for vascular imaging and interventions. Yet, to fully take advantage of the unique MPI properties, real-time 4D imaging has to be combined with appropriate real-time 4D visualization and image analysis techniques. The current work aims at identification of respective clinical use cases and scenarios to illustrate the potential of MPI in the context of vascular imaging and interventions; the implementation and exploration of suitable visualization and image analysis techniques; and evaluation and comparison of the resulting image data to standard clinical imaging approaches. The study is based on three clinical use cases and associated anatomical sites: mechanical thrombectomy (anatomical structure: middle cerebral artery, segments M1 and M2); endovascular coiling (internal carotid artery aneurysm); and chemoembolization (proper hepatic artery). Implemented visualization and image analysis options are based on direct volume rendering and cover aspects like optimal view point and view angle selection and application of cut-away views. We illustrate that combining MPI imaging and 4D visualization helps to improve vascular image interpretation.
